Bid Opening for Knox Wastewater Plant’s Headworks Project Postponed

The Knox Wastewater Department has
pushed back the bid opening for upgrades to the headworks at the
Wastewater Treatment Plant. It had been scheduled for last week’s
board of works meeting, but Wastewater Superintendent Kelly Clemons
said it’s been postponed until September 24.

Another pre-bid meeting will be held
next Friday. Clemons told board members that several contractors have
expressed interest, and she’s hopeful that the city will get some
good bids.

The city has been awarded a $700,000
matching grant through the Indiana Office of Community and Rural
Affairs for upgrades to the plant’s headworks and pre-treatment
system.
